Unknow Status
Ok the tenant is now working properly :
-the statuses are finally working
-the federation is also working (it was also a problem - not possible to chat with external users)
Spent a few hours with Microsoft yesterday to test a lot of things but nothing came out of it, And this morning it finally works!
Also, about 24H ago, we removed,from our domain, the SIP DNS records (CNAME and SRV) that we added when we first used O365, which weren't needed if S4B was not used (and we never used it).
So either :
- Microsoft did something (which seems unlikely, nothing in my support tickets shows an action on their part)
- the DNS records were somehow interacting with the presence and the federation capabilities.
For the SIP DNS records, i stumbled upon this thread with a similar solution, so I think the DNS problem is the most likely :

Apparently Microsoft fixed something.
